How can you be closed and still have employees show up to work especially during an international crisis!. You dont let them in the building and threating to fire or cut their unemployment if they dont show up. Its too cold for flat roofing and putting your employees at risk for your own greed. Lets see what the media has to say.about the mandatory shut down by NYS.

Would Recommend I would highly recommend your company to friends & neighbors; all employees were professional & courteous including office staff. I was concerned with repairs and materials to be used. And was impressed with reassurance that the work would be done. A new roof was completed in 2 days, thank you so much!
